I am sorry for the ambiguity in (b), I will post my steps here.
The mass a 1m by 1m by 1m cube is M = ρV = ρ(1 m3)
So, the number of nucleons in this cube = # nucleons m-3, N = M/mp = ρ/mp
Note: I followed someone's steps for the above calculations, here is their note:
By the above...
1. The full problem statement, all variables and given/known data
The problem can be found http://www.astro.umd.edu/~chris/Teaching/ASTR498E_Spring_2006/homework5.pdfif any of my description is lacking.
I have solved successfully part a), most of b), and c) for the problem, but part d)...
Sorry for the confusion, I should have posted the entirety of the question.
The question does say 1053 erg, but it does make more sense to believe it means erg/s. I will post the full question though to try to alleviate any questions:
I don't expect much/any help on b) and c) as I have not...
EDIT: I apologize for not noticing this earlier, but I realize this should be in the HW/Coursework section of the forum. If possible, would someone be able to move it over for me? Again, sorry for my error and any trouble/confusion.
I would like some help calculating the flux of neutrinos...
